4. To encourage others against their enemies. What a notable encouragement is this of the Apostle,1 Watch you, stand fast in the ⟨p. 275⟩faith, quit you like men, •e strong. Another like, but more large encouragement is set down, Eph. 6. 10, 11, 12, 13, &c. By good encouragement life and spirit is put into men: and they are emboldened like Lions to stand against their enemies. For this, the true grounds of good encouragement must be laid down: which are Gods presence, Gods promises, Gods properties, the necessity of standing out and fighting valiantly, the glory of the conquest, the damages of yielding, the misery of being overcome, with the like.
